Nutrition For Mother and Her Baby

Give your attention on nutrition, because providing a good one for both the mother and baby is a must. For you know that two polyunsaturated fatty acids, AA and DHA, are building blocks of brain cells, the vascular system, and other tissues. DHA will be concentrated in the retina of the eye. It is very important for visual function.



DHA facilitates communication between brain cells, a critical brain function. The developing fetus depends on the mother’s nutrition to obtain these fatty acids. The mother’s supply comes from the foods she eats and her own tissues AA and DHA are vital to the mother’s health to support growth of the placenta and developing fetus, maintain her own tissues, and make substances, such as prostaglandins, which are important in childbirth.

The mother has two ways of providing AA and DHA for the fetus. One is to make them from precursor fatty acids and the other is to consume them in foods. For AA, either choice appears sufficient. The body makes AA from linoleic acid, the most plentiful polyunsaturated fatty acid in western diets. Meats and fish have some AA too. In western countries, there appears to be plenty of AA for healthy development of the fetus and young infant.

The Process of Pregnancy

The pregnancy process by which the single-cell human embryo (called a zygote (zi’got),1 becomes a 100 trillion-cell (1014) adult is perhaps the most remarkable phenomenon in all of nature. Studying human development from fertilization to birth, means that we will see these body parts and body systems emerge . We also learn when many routine body functions begin. Human development is a continuous process beginning with fertilization and continuing throughout pregnancy, birth, childhood, adolescence, adulthood, and into old age. The process of pregnancy preceded by a process of fertilization of the egg cell united with sperm cells or spermatozoa and the results will form a zygote. zygotes started to divide one cell into two cells, two cells become four cells and so on. On the fourth day of the zygote becomes a lump cells that are ready to attach to the lining of the cavity the uterus (endometrium). Pregnancy begins in this process. On the seventh day the lump was organized into layers cells surrounding a room that contains a group of cells in the inside. Most pregnancy lasts about 40 weeks (280 days) and no more than 43 weeks (300 days). gestation which took place between 20-38 weeks of pregnancy is called preterm, whereas when more than 42 weeks of pregnancy are called postterm. According to age, pregnancy is divided into three, namely pregnancy first trimester 0-14 weeks, the second trimester of pregnancy 14-28 weeks and the third trimester of pregnancy 28-42 weeks.
